Travel Information

Getting to Tides Reach

There are daily direct flights from Los Angeles to Nadi International Airport Fiji, and from Nadi to Taveuni Airport on a short plane ride. You will be greeted by the hotel staff at the airport and driven to the resort, 10 minutes away.

If flying from the USA, keep in mind you will lose one day over the dateline on flying to Fiji.

A valid passport with an expiration at least 3 months longer than your planned date to leave Fiji is required to get a free tourist visa on arrival. You will need to provide your passport and your return ticket out of Fiji and this tourist passport will be free.

Local currency in Fiji is the Fiji Dollar. You can exchange money at the airport or at any ATM in Fiji. The exchange rate is about 1 Fiji dollar to .5 USD.

Early check-in & Late check-out available depending on flight details – please contact us prior to booking your inbound and outbound flights.

Connections in Nadi

All international flights will fly into Nadi airport. If you have a tight connection ( less than 2 hours ), we will recommend a rush transfer through customs, baggage claim and walk over to the domestic terminal so you do not miss your connection. Though you reduce travel time with an early Nadi – Taveuni flight, you can risk a delay that will make you miss your domestic flight. This rush service is highly recommended and costs US$80 / person.

If you have half a day in Nadi, we can recommend a day room at the Sofitel Denerau, air conditioned van and driver so you can refresh and eat prior to your afternoon flight. We are happy to organize this for you, generally a day room and transfer will cost about US $250.
